In this study, we examined relations among gender, self-concept and children's autobiographical narratives. Twenty-two white middle-class children 8 years of age (50% female) were administered the Children's Self-View Questionnaire (CSVQ). In addition, children were asked to recall a speci®c experience associated with each of the nine self-concept dimensions assessed by the CSVQ, including Achi...

We present an alternative methodology for the analysis of algorithms, based on the concept of expected discounted reward. This methodology naturally handles algorithms that do not always terminate, so it can (theoretically) be used with partial algorithms for undecidable problems, such as those found in artificial general intelligence (AGI) and automated theorem proving. We mention an approach ...

The cluster analysis represents a group of methods whose aim is to classify the investigated objects into clusters. There have been suggested many new algorithms recently. This article deals with the use of an advanced method of neural network represented by Kohonen self-organizing maps for cluster analysis and describes its basis. The software Matlab 7.1 was used to present the applications of...
